Hugh Heffner

It seems that when Hugh Heffner died, some kind of force field that protected powerful men in the United States was destroyed. Almost every week a new man has been found to be some sort of sexual predator.

Matt Lauer is the latest pervert to be brought to justice. He was fired from the "Today Show". His multi million dollar contract will not be paid. The article from Variety made me sick to my stomach. I feel terrible for the women who were subject to his sick actions.

I hope men have learned from all of these reports. No means no! The majority of women aren't turned on by a naked man at work. It's insulting. If I had a meeting with my boss and he took his penis out and expected me to do something to or with it, I would call the police.

If you are reading this and someone at work is sexually harassing you, document everything. Write down everything that has happened. Include dates, times, and as many details you can remember. Note any scars, rashes, or birthmarks. Go to your Human Resources office and file an official complaint. If nothing is done, call an attorney. Keep all records in a safe place. Keep a hard copy of these records in a location that is not at your home.

Si estás leyendo esto y alguien en el trabajo te está acosando sexualmente, documenta todo. Escriba todo lo que ha sucedido. Incluya fechas, horas y tantos detalles que pueda recordar. Tenga en cuenta las cicatrices, erupciones o marcas de nacimiento. Vaya a su oficina de Recursos Humanos y presente una queja oficial. Si no se hace nada, llame a un abogado. Mantenga todos los registros en un lugar seguro. Guarde una copia impresa de estos registros en una ubicación que no se encuentre en su hogar.

2017 keeps surprising me every day...

Take care,

English Roses

This has been an intense year. It seems 2017 is the year of the "unmasking". It's actually a good thing. I want to know who people really are on the inside.

I have deleted people from my social media and my life. Enough is enough. There is so much negative energy in the world right now, I need positivity around me. Freedom of speech has consequences...

My love for flowers has tripled. When the new 365 Whole Foods Market opened up in Summit County my world changed. They have amazing Fair Trade organic flowers for $5.00. 💟 My home is full of flowers now lol. Los flores son mi pasión. Take a look at my IG. I reposted these beautiful English roses this morning.

More updates coming soon!

Besos,
Monica

Better Days Ahead

I just celebrated my birthday on Monday. 🎂Wonderful day with my family. I even ate a piece of cake. I know, living la vida loca Lol.

It's hurricane season. Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma have destroyed many homes and lives. Pets are suffering too. If you are an animal lover please text LOVE to 20222. It's an easy way to donate $10.00 to the Humane Society.

2017 has shown the true colors of several people. Just watch and listen. Remember to vote for the people that share your values. Sometimes it's impossible to vote straight party lines. Good people in the Republican, Democratic, Green, and Independent parties.

I begrudgingly tried Kylie Jenner's cosmetic line. Lip products to be specific. Me gusta MUCHO. I have to give it to her, Kylie Cosmetics are fabulous. Long lasting glosses and metals. They smell amazing. Count me in as a fan. Who would have thought? 💋

The school year is off to an interesting start. I have a new "room" in the corner of the library (pictured below). It is not considered a room because I have no door and zero privacy. At least I am not in a mold infested room... The problem is I am not allowed to teach. Yes, not a typo. There are two other classes in the library during my class. It has to remain silent, so I now pass out worksheets and walk up and down the aisle. It's sad. I became a teacher to TEACH. There is nothing I can do about it, so I will do as I am told. I cried for two days. I am still hurting, but life goes on. I feel bad for the students. They are the ones that have the raw deal. Please pray and send positive energy our way.

Abrazos,
Monica

Happy New Year 2017

2016 was rough. Praying 2017 will be full of love, joy, and laughter. May God bless us all. Paz, amor, y salud.

Love,
Monica
